Hi Joe,

It can be difficult because you don’t generate any topspin yourself to get a safe margin over the net.  You need to hit the ball flat and utilise the spin of your opponent.  It will take a bit of getting used to and good touch to get the right amount of speed to get the ball to drop onto the table.

You can also do the block that we show you with long pimples in the lesson on Long Pimple Chop Block.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
